To ensure your VAT recovery process runs smoothly, it’s important to provide accurate details, including your Company VAT Number, Local Tax Office Name, Local Tax Office Address, and Local Tax Number.

Why this information is important:

Compliance: Both EU and non-EU countries have distinct regulations regarding VAT recovery. Providing accurate local tax office information ensures adherence to these regional requirements.

Processing VAT Claims: Tax authorities asks your VATID and/or tax number during the VAT refund process. Therefore, this information must be provided and be accurate. This facilitates a more efficient verification process.

VAT Number formats by country

Before submitting your VAT information, ensure that the VAT number format follows the correct structure for the country. If the format is incorrect, the system will block submission. The best source for verifying your VAT number format is the official website of your local tax authority.

For German companies, you may also need to include additional details such as your German state of establishment and your Company Local Tax Number.
